In a world where love is a risk and trust can be fatal, Carl Grimes meets Maeve, a guarded, knife-skilled, war written survivor with a past she refuses to speak of. When their groups merge near Alexandria. What happens when tension turns to curiosity, and curiosity slowly burns into something deeper.
But survival never pauses for romance. As walkers close in and betrayal brews inside the walls, Carl and Maeve must navigate not only the brutal world around them-but the fear of losing each other. For Carl, she becomes a glimpse of something worth living for. For Maeve, he becomes one of the few people she's ever trusted and she's afraid to lose him.
When war threatens everything they've built, they'll have to decide: in a world built on loss, is love still worth the cost?
"Is it bad, that when I'm with you, all the pain, the guilt and the hurt, disappears?"
